Module 2 - Selling Models and Frameworks

Welcome to module 2 – Selling Models and Frameworks. This module is about how to implement the sales plan, through the application of models and frameworks that enable the analyses and processes that contribute to the planning and management functions of sales. As the nature of sales functions, considering them as a non-exact science, sales planning can be developed by many different approaches. Some of the methods follow structured recommendations and prescriptions, and these methods are referred in this module as models or frameworks. We discuss them in this module, and the primary learning outcome is to know how to apply each of them, by remembering and understanding their structure, the prescriptions, and the recommendations.
